It has been nearly 4 years since I first wrote about Sentinel, recognizing its promise early on (it had actually already been around a few years even back then) as an underrated project with an actual working product relative to similar, much larger and hyped (at the time) enterprises in the VPN space like Orchid …
Pardon me, did I say “Proton?” I’m sorry, it’s actually called XPR Network now. One of the strengths of the XPR Network community has always been its chaotic cast of entertaining characters and zany personalities. Many have come and many have gone, and most have been banned from official XPR channels, while some remain to …
Loners of the world, unite! Loner Clones is a new NFT collection on Cardano that features various types of “loners” in all their retro-pixelated glory. These were not generated but “drawn” individually on a 32×32 grid. There are only 13 available. Collect them all. View Loner Clones on Cardano’s NFT marketplace, JPG.store
I’ve been on the lookout for another place to mint a collection of NFTs. I generally prefer non-ETH chains, not just to avoid gas fees but because most of the marketplaces on ETH are already piled sky high with NFTs that it’s almost impossible to stand out. Reef Chain has been on my radar for …
So, you maxed out your girlfriend’s credit card to buy that pixelated brick NFT that you just knew would 100x in value, only to later wonder if that NFT was stolen, or whether the entire collection was a copy and paste job. Uh-oh spaghettio! Yeah, we’ve all been there, and unfortunately, you can’t just take …
In terms of user-experience, Proton’s WebAuth wallet is bar none the best wallet I’ve ever used in crypto. It’s lightning fast, efficient and almost totally bug free. The only other wallet (out of the many I experimented with) that’s comparably impressive is Algorand’s Pera Wallet. These days, I find myself using old standbys like MetaMask, …
So, it’s tough to write about this topic, because I don’t want to seem like I’m knocking certain blockchains and their respective NFT platforms. For that reason, I’m going to be intentionally vague, and this article is mostly just going to be an expression of my own preferences, along with a brief explanation of why …
Whenever the subject of token utility arises, it often feels as though many have this unshakeable image in their heads of a person strolling into 7-Eleven, handing their trusty cryptocurrency card to the cashier and walking out with a savory box of Milk Duds. Their underlying assumption about crypto is that it should function more …
I randomly stumbled onto an Algorand-based NFT collection called “Beepboy,” which caught my eye immediately, as it appears to be an aesthetically inspired homage to the classic handheld Game Boy device. As an eternal and prototypical 80’s kid, I have fond memories of Game Boys even though I never actually owned one (I only had …
Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in crypto knows that there are a number of persistent rivalries between different blockchains. Taking on a factional form, these rivalries often exist both at the project/developer level and within the wider communities themselves. Much of this can be chalked up to friendly competition, genuine technical …
